Suicide among Hungarian Gypsies.
A study of suicide among the nonnomadic Gypsies in three counties in Hungary revealed that they had a lower completed suicide rate but a higher attempted suicide rate than ethnic Hungarians. The rate of attempted suicide appeared to be higher in the younger, partially assimilated Gypsies as a result of the conflict between the traditional values of their parents and the pull of the larger Hungarian culture.
